Dawn Service:  

The Dawn Service will be held at the Cenotaph in Roderick Cruice Park (beside the pool) and will commence at 0515. Bring a light and participate in the service.

Parade and Main Service

The Main Parade will be as it was last year.  Form up will be at the hotel at 9.00am and the march will begin at 9.30am sharp and proceed to the school.

Buses will again be available to transport people to the Memorial in the War Memorial Grounds (Showgrounds) for the service to commence at 10.00am, or alternatively a short walk from the school through Tullamore Park will get you to there in time for the service.  The buses will be provided by Brisbane Bus Lines and the drivers will give their time as well.  Thanks to Dale Tokley and the drivers from Brisbane Bus Lines.  The buses will also be available for anyone wanting to leave their cars at the showgrounds and be transported to the hotel for the parade and returned to the Memorial in the showgrounds for the service after the parade.  This will allow people wishing to stay for the luncheon to have their vehicles available to be able to leave at their leisure.  The buses will leave to transport people to the parade at 9.10 sharp.   

Luncheon

We would again like to invite everybody to attend the luncheon after the Service.  To cover the costs of the luncheon, donations have been received from the Dayboro Apex Club and the Dayboro & Districts Junior Rugby League Sporting Club and the Dayboro Rodeo Association.  The usual game of 2up will be held at the Dayboro Bowls Club commencing at 1.00pm.  All proceeds will go to the War Memorial Association and used to conduct remembrance services and maintain and improve Dayboro’s War Memorials.

Wreath Laying Ceremony

Organisations or private people wanting to lay a wreath please contact Richard Hawkins on 3289 9208 email hawkins.family1@bigpond.com or Allan Kilby on 3425 1122 email allan.kilby@gmail.com  Private people wishing to lay a wreath, can, if desired state the person it is memory of and it will be announced when the person is called forward.  This extends the time taken for the wreath laying ceremony but we think the extra time taken is worth it.  Due to lack of flowers available at this time of year it would be appreciated if the person or organisation could supply their own wreath.  

Lions’ Diggers Dinner 

The annual Lions Digger’s Dinner will be held on Saturday the 13th. of April at the football club in Don Kerr Memorial Drive at 1200.  Returned Servicemen/women and their partners are most welcome.  Note.
